Equipment

  • shot glass
  • bar spoon
  • jigger or pour spout

Ingredients
  

  • ½ oz Kahlua
  • ½ oz White Crème de Cacao
  • ½ oz Bailey's Irish Cream

Instructions
 

  • (Optional) Chill shot glass and liqueurs before starting to help make better layers.
  • Use the jigger to measure and pour .5 oz of Kahlua into your shot glass.
  • Use the jigger to measure .5 oz of white creme de cacao.
  • Place your bar spoon upside down in the shot glass just above the Kahlua. Slowly pour the .5 oz of White Crème de Cacao over the back of the spoon onto the top of the Kahlua.
    Note: you may need to slightly raise your spoon as you pour the liquid in so that it keeps the new liquid being poured in sitting on top.
  • Use the jigger to measure .5 oz of Irish Cream.
  • Place the spoon upside down in the glass again, this time just above the creme de cacao. Slowly pour the Irish Cream over the back of the spoon so it lays on top of the creme de cacao.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Variations + Tips
  • Chill ingredients. Stick your Kahlua, Bailey's, and White Crème de Cacao in the fridge or freezer for a little while before making this drink. They will be cold and a little denser making it easier to layer them.
  • Use different brands. We prefer Kahula as our coffee liqueur and Bailey's for Irish Cream. However, there are other brands of coffee liqueur and irish cream that work fine in this shot.
  • Pour slowly. One of the keys to a nicely layered shot is pouring the ingredients slowly so that they can a clean line between each and don't mix together at all.
